Minnesota Homefront
Change came quickly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Featuring nine panels, audio interviews, songs of the period, and a “Letter Stories” bin, Minnesota Homefront, World War II shares the experiences of 46 Minnesotans and the state’s role in the most widespread war in history.
Find out what it was like to “make do” with rationing, farm during a severe labor shortage, work on the Iron Range and in defense plants, develop inventions for the war, be trained as a translator at Fort Snelling, and endure a starvation experiment for science and the war effort.
